Whirlwind

The waves are gentle, benevolent, lapping
on the other side, thunder resonates, wild and clapping
The sea is unruffled, a calm periwinkle,
whereas the ocean is marred with waves and wrinkles
The sky is vivid, the sun an orb of gold,
in the distance, a storm brews, tempestuous, uncontrolled          
The ambience is delightful, with a muffled breeze,
beyond the bounds, a frenetic gale rouses the seas
Fish of radiant luminosity crowd around,
Distantly, they cower, terrified to make a sound
But at that point, the entire sky went dark
the light had been concealed, every sunglow spark
winds- violent and frosty- pervade the air,
the formerly tranquil sea complies without turning a hair
What hitherto had been a serene, limpid scene,
was now a whirlwind of components aerial and marine
The sky was charcoal, reflected from the clouds,
gusts shriek by, whistling and loud
lightning struck, an iridescent flash
followed by thunder, a rumbling crash
waves, squalls, torrents of rain would swarm,
heading towards land, ruthlessly came the storm
